With inspiration from JessJess and AudioHeart I bought some non toxic glue and lolly sticks today. So far Iv started making a pirate ship, got some platforms and ladders to attach to a box but Iv run out of ideas.

I had a carton of chinchilla sand, I taped close the lid and cut off one of the larger sides to make the boat shape. Then I cut out a little lip so they can get in and out. Now im in the middle of sticking lolly sticks to the side for support to make it more ship like lol
I'll get better pictures once its dry

That pirate ship you've made is FANTASTIC so far, its amazing!! Perhaps you could have the ships mast as a climbing frame? Or maybe make a little ladder plank? Ummm id suggest looking at photo of pirate ships and seeing what you change to suit a hamster boat?

lol I was going to make a mast but it would get in the way of them climbing in, could put it at the back I suppose, I'll have to have a think

The walls for the house are complete, I was thinking of putting a layer of PVA glue over the top of the sticks as a kinda varnish to help seal them against any mess but would that make them more harmful if the sticks are chewed?

Hey, if you check out my post #8 in this thread, then you can see some pictures of things I recently did with popsicle sticks. Hope it sparks your imagination as much as so many of you guys on this forum have mine.
